Scholarship applications are received and reviewed twice per year by a committee consisting of Rachael Friedrich, Jim Webb, Tammie Liddie, and Chairman Gail Stolzenburg.

The funds for the scholarships are provided from the dues paid by USA Judo Life Members which has approximately $325,000 invested with the U.S. Olympic Foundation. Only the interest and dividends are used for athlete scholarships so the fund continues to grow. Our goal is to reach $1 million and provide 100 scholarships each year.
